The time to book Lyft or Uber is under 1 hour before unless for a long run like to the airport. It would help to book a short ride with them to get all set with payment and identity issues. Lust has nicer drivers mostly. Medicaid pays for transportation, but eligibility varies widely state to state. There is a version that covers keeping you in your home with higher income limits than the basic low-income insurance.
